RONALD’S RAY GUN – A new musical by Stephen Murray

It’s 1985, and aliens have infiltrated the video arcade at the Ocean View Mall. Any human playing one of their video games is zapped with a mind-control ray that will turn them into a zombie! It’s up to the teens of Ocean View High to foil the alien plot for global domination. Can the teens stop the aliens before they place their mind-control ray into Blockbuster VHS tapes and Nintendo cartridges? Find out in RONALD’S RAY GUN!!!
